Today we drove to Westchester to attend Mass at Andy's aunt request. The Mass was at her parish and where Andy's dad's funeral took place. Apparently, she placed a prayer card in for him and the priest mentioned his name so she wanted us there. It was my first Catholic Mass and I was pretty lost. A few observations - I liked how they only sang the first verse of the hymns; there were no bulletins so if you don't know the Mass ritual you're pretty lost; the sermon was short and sweet; and when the hour was up, everyone left, quickly. Now, if our church could keep services to an hour ...
Afterward, Andy's aunt took us (me, Andy, B and L - E was babysitting for a neighbor), Allison, another aunt, and a couple of cousins and their families out to dinner at Nickson's in LaGrange. Service wasn't great and all B would eat was fries (they were out of chicken fingers), but my Texan Brisket Tacos were yummy.
